Yesterday a battle for the rights of On- tario was fought in this riding, and we re- gret to say was won by the enemies of con- stitutional government, represented by Mr. T. N. Gibbs. _ When the odds against which the Re- form party have had to contend in'the campaign is taken into account, it must be adwitted hat they have fought a battle with the result of which, on their part, they may well feel proud. The despicable and unjust action of the Returnirg Officer, in appointirigas division Returning Officers non-voters, who were instructed to ap- point Reform voters as poll clerks, and thus destroy their votes ; the circulation of the basést and most untruthful slanders regarding the character of Mr. White ; and last, but most powerful, the liberal use of money in purchasing votes for Mr. Gibbs, all combined to prevent the poll- ing of the true expressivn of opinion throughout tke riding. Had there been a fair contest, Mr. White would to-day be the representative elect for South Ontario. ~ 4 majority of all the votes in the riding were pledged in Javor of Mr. White one week ago; but many of those having the form of manhcod, proved themselves unworthy of the name, and sold themselves to Mr. Gibbs, agents at 00 much per head.

The Government have brought on the elections which they felt sure of carrying, mn order to inspire their snpporters with courage; and when five of their strong men have already been defeated, -we may rea- sonably expect a much larger gain for Reform in elections yet to come off. Great Meeting at Brooklin. hal One of the largest. aml best political meetings ever held: in Sbduth Ontario, took place at Brooklin en Wednesday afternoon of this week, called in the in- terests of T. P. White, Eeq., and Hon. Alex. McKenzie announced as®peaker for the occasion. Sir John A. Macdonald and Hon. Win. Macdougall were hastily summoned by Mr. Gibbs, and were like- wise present at-the meeting. The rill shed was densgly packed with an intelligent and most attentive audi- ence-- boards were removed from the sides of the building, and htindreds stood out- side to listen. Notwithstanding the crowding and excessive heat, excellent | order was maintained, and a good hearing | afforded the speakers. A Farewell, Esq.. | ably filled the position of chairman. Hon.

WE have bsen shown by Mr. A. Trull, of E. W., heads of early spring wheat, with ohe side entirely destroyed with rust, while the other side was well filled with nics, plump kernels of wheat, ripe and ready for cutting. We believe this is something rarely seen, as, when rust is found in wheat it generally destroys the whole head. THE traction engine, known as *' Cories Common Sense," under repair at the Hall Works, was tried last evening, about five o'clock. : It proved a success in regard to power, but'on account of the foaming m the boiler caused by oil and other sub- stances used in the construction of it, a fair trial was not made, But during next week, the boller will be thoroughly clean- ed out, and we will then have an oppor- tunity of seeing it thoroughly tested.

Nota single seat formely held by a reformer has been won by a! Ministerialist ; while on tté other hand | several 'important ministerial supporters | of the first parliament have heen defeated | by proneunced opposition adherents. Sir | John had a hard run in Kingston ; and the small majority of 131, compared with his majority of over 600 five years ago, is almost ss crushing as a defeat, when the extraordinary exercise of offi ial power and free use of money necessary to secure his return, are taken into consideration. Had Mr. Carruthers resorted to bribery, as did his opponent, he could have been returned easily. Bhaunly, the wealthy contractor, was beaten by Dr. Brouse in South Granville; Abbott was defeated by Buell in Brock- ville ; Walsh, the chairman of.the Inter- dlenial C issi , was driven from the field in North Norfolk by Charlton ; . was most ignominiously de- feated in North Lanark by Galbraith ; snd Joskson was yesterday beaten by Landerkin in South Grey.

During the struggle, Mr. Phillippe Gaudreau dis- charged a pistol, shot one Jaa e:, sail- maker, of Diamond Harbour, who im- mediately expired, the ball having lodged in his head. The body was taken to No. 1 Sation-house, where an inquest will be held to-morrow. Throughout the while day, in Quebec Centre, the greatest disturbances took place, and the police and military were called out to disperse the rowdies. They insulted Mr. Ross's supporters in the grossest manner, and foreibly took pos- session of three of the polls. The shops and stores were closed during the day and revolvers were fired. Three persons are reported to be killed.- Mr. Cauchon has been elected by violence and intimidation, and the same may be :aid of Mr. Mec- Ureevey, in Quebec West. In Quebec county, Mr. Chauveau is elected, and Mr. Hearn defeated. Mr Blanch st is elected for Levis by a large majority. QuenEec, August 5th. Quebec Centre witnessed to-day one of the most violent contests ever experienced in this Province. Couch n has a majority of 160 votes, gained by bullying and inti midation, but as several of the polling booths were close] Lefore the hour ap- | pointed by law, the election must be declared null. For the past month Can- chon and his partizans keld nightly open air meetings in St. John suburbs, an exclusively French Canadian quarter of the city,at which he made violent speeches, | pronouncing the contest as one of a reli- | gious character. He succeeded through daily editorials 'n his paper "Le Journal, and his addresses, in rousing the fierces. passions of the people. Mr. Ross, his | opponent, declared from the beginning | that if to insure his roturn to Parliament violence had to be used, he would resign Cauchon knowing this, urged his support- ers that every poll should be taken pos- session of by force rather than defeated. The C. u- chon party then made an attack up n Ross's general committee-room, smashing windows and tearing down some flags. | They proeeeded to several of the polls within the gates where Ross had a majority and took them by storm. Later in ta | afterncon a terrible fight took place in | St. John's Ward, resulting in the death of a young man named David Gaudle, a sa:l | maker, who was shot through the head by At noon the voting was equal. a young man named Gaudieauv, vne of | Cauchun's leadeaders.

When he reached Ujiji, after a tramp of 500 miles ; he was a mere mass of bones. The first words of hope 'were the report that an Englishman was coming, which proved to be Sta) ley. The Doctor continues : |** An Awerican flag, the first ever seen in these paris, at the head of the caravan, told me the nationality of the rtranger. I ain as cold and non demonstrative as we islanders are usually reputed to be, but your kind- ness made my frame thrill.

Owing to the bad feelings raised by the murders and the excitement «f yesterday. there is terrible fighting going on in St. Peter's ward and the police are powerless. The worst feelings of the population have been evoked. A deadly feeling of hosti- lity has been raised between the French Canadian and the English speaking ele- ments and it is likely to continue for a | long tims. Most bitter vengeance has been sworn by the friends of the men murdered and injured by Couchon's party yesterday. To-day a French Canadian was shot in St. Peter's ward and died in less than an hour afterwards. For a short tima St. Peter- street, the great comnmercial thoronghfare, of inéensed men thirsting for blood. Shots were flying in all directions. Several were severely beaten.

It is alleged that all the dyism of yes- terday was premadit by Ciachon's party. All the revolvers in the city were bought ap, and organizations of bullies were made to prevent the elec'ors from voting, to seize the polls, ani destroy the books, which they did in avery ease when necessary for 'their own interest. It is impossible to arrive at the exact number of injured in to-day and yesterday's riot. Too much praise cannct be given to -the police for their gallant conduct, but their number were too small to make head against the enraged populace. The same thing cannot be eaid of the Dominion Artillery, who were ealled out, but seemed purposely ¢o direct their effirts to secure peace by running after children in the back streets.

Aurora, Ind., July 16.--The people of this city are laboring under intense excite- ment, occasioned by the discovery of a large cave and the remains of three per- sons, two mules below this city, ou the Kentucky shore.

A dense growth of foliage borders the North side of this rocky prowi- nence. Early this morning thice boys At ten and reporteu that they had found a cave at Split Rock heretic fore unknown. They and their parents, with several others, out of curiosity, started fur the place. Two or three small cave rns beneath some of the rocks had been known there for )ears, and nothing beyond: somthing like this was expected by the party. Arriving at the 1 .dge of rocks, the boys made, their way through the dense thicket « f vives and bushes, followed by the men. A tree had been uprooted by the storm which recently passed over this neighborhood, tearing up the earth and disclosing the entrance of the cave. Lamps were pro- cured at a farm house near by, and the party commenced the exploration. In the meantime some of the company returned to Aurora, and some scores of people were hurrying to the place. A skiff containing Drs. Sutton and Bond, O. P. Cobb Mayor Ewrle, aud the writer, wus among the earliest at the place, and the party pro- ceeded to make a thorough examination of the premises. The party who had first gone in returned, giving a wonderful re- port of the dimensions et the cave, and startling the httle company by the report of the SE sevory of the remains of three human beings, one of which from pretty good evidence is supvosed to be the mur- derer of Benjamin Nathan. The entrance | to the cave faces directly west, aud is about one-fourth of a mile from the river shore. It is about four feet high and per- haps as wide. Two limestone rocks form the. sides of the entrance, and the rvof sof a rough and irregular form, sharp pointed ks jutting out in all directions. About enty feet from the mouth the fioor drops ruptly do vn for two or three feet. The party had proceeded thus far when they mps disclosed the skeleton of a human ing, covering which were the clothes it ad worn when allve. The garments con- sisted of a black frock wollen coat, a mixed gray pair of pauts, and a vest of apparent. y the same material, and a dark hat.
